		<description><![CDATA[Blacksmith Games introduces an advent calender with a much sweeter treat than chocolate behind each door. Consider this a PSA, because we know that you guys like free stuff.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/flyersmall.jpg" alt="flyersmall" title="flyersmall" width="234" height="218" style="float: right; display: block; padding-left: 10px;" class="alignright size-full wp-image-21175" /> Remember the good old days, when holiday promotions didn&#8217;t start until <em>after</em> Thanksgiving? If you&#8217;re like me, your inbox is already flooded with promotional emails. Enough, already!</p>
<p>Blacksmith Games, thankfully, isn&#8217;t starting this promotion until December 1st&#8212;that sounds reasonable, doesn&#8217;t it?&#8212;but what they&#8217;re offering is sure to delight any and all App Store junkies. Their new program is an &#8220;<a href="http://appventcalendar.com/">Appvent Calender</a>,&#8221; and if all goes as planned, customers will be able to get a different free game every day, from December 1st to the 24th.</p>
<p>Jo from Blacksmith Games writes: </p>
<blockquote><p>While finishing Plushed I got the idea to make an advent calendar with free games. It is called appvent calendar <img src='http://www.148apps.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  Developers can apply for providing their game for free for one day. Then 24 games will be chosen.</p></blockquote>
<p>It looks like they need more developers to join the program before it takes off, though, so any developers interested in participating should apply <a href="http://appventcalendar.com/application/">here</a>. Jo is quick to point out that this benefits developers and much as customers; switching an app to free for one day, combined with the Appvent Calender, should generate a nice promotional boost.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, customers should check <a href="http://appventcalendar.com/">appventcalender.com</a> once December hits. Let&#8217;s cross our fingers and hope that the free games are good ones&#8230;Talk about a sweet treat!</p>
